From the Preface: "The name of Hermann Weyl is enshrined in the history
of mathematics. A thinker of exceptional depth, and a creator of ideas,
Weyl possessed an intellect which ranged far and wide over the realm of
mathematics, and beyond. His mind was sharp and quick, his vision clear
and penetrating. Whatever he touched he adorned. His personality was
suffused with humanity and compassion, and a keen aesthetic sensibility.
Its fullness radiated charm. He was young at heart to the end. By
precept and example, he inspired many mathematicians, and influenced
their lives. The force of his ideas has affected the course of science.
He ranks among the few universalists of our time. This collection of
papers is a tribute to his genius. It is intended as a service to the
mathematical community....These papers will no doubt be a source of
inspirations to scholars through the ages."
Volume I comprises 29 articles written between 1908 and 1917.
